Optus and iiNet are not in this first round and whether they will participate in the 2nd round I expect hangs heavily on the feedback received from this list of ISPs. Too negative and Conroy knows iiNet will roll him. He wants to iron out some of the bugs before he lets his baby into iiNet’s hands.

iiNet CTO Greg Bader told News.com.au he still expects to be involved at a later date.
